Launch HN: PullRequest (YC S17) – On-Demand Code Review http://ift.tt/2wThhAK

Launch HN: PullRequest (YC S17) – On-Demand Code Review Hi! I am Lyal Avery, founder of PullRequest (pullrequest.com) - we’re currently in the YC S17 batch. PullRequest is offering code review as a service. We built PullRequest to help developers. After waiting several days for feedback on a pull request while a colleague was on vacation, I knew there had to be a way to improve this process. Our mission is to improve code quality and save time for dev teams. We combine static and linting tools with real on-demand reviewers to help augment your current code review process. Dev managers like extra coverage, but our real intent is to free up developers to make better software more efficiently We’re onboarding experts across a lot of different languages for this reason. Sometimes teams might only have one person working within a given framework/language – it can be difficult to get objective feedback before shipping to production if you’re working on an island. All reviewers sign NDAs to protect your IP. We start with surface level reviews – complying with framework or language standards, algorithmic work, performance or other questions. Since our reviewers continue working on the same projects, they will also gain context for deeper reviews. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and feedback! August 17, 2017 at 07:00PM

A Google Engineer is reviewing all USB Type-C chargers on Amazon to inform customers which ones are safe for use on their devices

The USB Type-C take over has already started, and as this year comes to an end, we expect to see a few more smartphones and tablets hit the market bundling compatibility for the third-generation connection. As it stands, handsets that currently feature Type-C ports only ship with a single cable and that annoyingly doesn’t support computer connectivity, so if users want to transfer files to their devices, they have to purchase an additional wire or adapter. However, these accessories aren’t cheap, so customers veer towards the more affordable, third-party cables readily available on marketplaces, such as Amazon and eBay, but that’s not a good thing. Many consumers have reported that these chargers have caused harm to their handsets, so Google Engineer Benson Leung has taken it upon himself to purchase a selection of Type-C connectors from Amazon to test and see if they meet the standard specifications for use on his Nexus device. So far, Leung has been through seven cables and clai...
